3 goals in 32 seconds - the quickest 3 goals ever?

Has been mentioned in a previous thread but are the three successive Demon goals kicked in the last minute of the 3rd quarter:

00:51 Petracca

00:34 Sparrow

00:19 Oliver

Are these the quickest 3 goals in succession ever?

    Just thinking the same thing. Watching the replay you think how could this happen? But it did.

    Sometimes we can have 2 goals in 20 seconds when a goal scorer is flattened after kicking a goal. But this case was without umpire interference i.e. no free kicks involved. Has to be a record for a GF surely.

    I can't think of 3 goals happening quicker than that. 

    We also kicked 3 goals in 1:38 or so in the third so I wonder if that would be up there in quickest 3 goals as well

    Could have been a 4th. Petracca was out the front of the restart/ball up. Bontempelli "just" made the tackle.

    Both Kate Roffey and Trac have referenced the one goal a minute rule proliferated by Lee Mathews. He has said a few times he only felt comfortable as a coach (in the last few minutes) when there were less minutes available than the goals lead. I'm certain the Dogs players would have been looking at the clock in the 3rd and thinking, minute to go only down by 6pts. Lets go to the qtr time break and reset for the final qtr ...... BANG!!!  WTF?

    Hugely demoralizing moment.

    I looked at this too! 2 of the goals were set shots with the players taking the full 30 seconds (especially BBrown) if I recall correctly (might need to double check actually… so many goals!). So, taking out the run ups (which, yes nobody really does) we scored 3 goals in under 40 seconds twice, in the same quarter, in a Grand Final.

    I still can’t really believe that happened!

    We did have one goal that minute-the flag.

    Is there anywhere you can search for this?

    Just watched the replay of that minute for the 50th time.
    After Clarry kicks his, when they pan onto Bontempelli and the bulldogs midfield group when they're headed back to the circle you can see in their body language they're beaten right there.
    Bontempelli's doing the sums on the scoreboard and can't believe it.

    I noticed Bontempelli's look of despair then too. A stark contrast to the look in Petracca's eye after he dobbed that classic banana dribbler!

    Doesn't really matter if the timing's accurate or not. This game is already going into footy folklore for the MIGHTY DEMONS kicking 3 goals in a minute, twice in one quarter, in a GRAND FINAL.

    It won't go down as one of the great GFs, but it will be ever memorable for the overwhelming blitzkrieg avalanche of devastation rained on the Dogs to blow them off the park. Can expect to see the 3rd quarter in future pre-GF "footy marathons".

    GO DEMONS!!!!

    There literally wasn’t any middle ground during the blitz. We’ve gone form 19 down and most thinking we’ve missed an opportunity to all of a sudden being 4 goals up at the last break. No time for biting nails and heart attacks. Extraordinary finish to a quarter.

    I believe the only ones to have gone close was us against the cats in the PF. We kicked 3 in quick succession during the third of that game as well.

    As far as I can gather the fastest ever individual goal from a center bounce was 6 seconds when Riewoldt was awarded a 50m prior to the first bounce!

    The instant and completely uninterrupted breakaway goals from a center bounce seem to range around 9 to 15 seconds. I assume that it has happened before at some point but even so, it would require both to be right at the pointy end of that scale when you consider there is always a couple of seconds after a goal before the all-clear and time stopping.

    If there have been faster runs of three goals, it could only be by a few seconds.

     

    With another odd goalkicking record in mind now - Tom McDonald must be the first person ever to kick a goal after the siren in a grand final from 45 meters out while 15 other guys were in a dry-humping pile about 5 meters to his left! :laugh:

    “They had about 16 stoppage goals, which is probably a record,” Hunter said.

    “They [the clearances] did come out of the front a lot in the centre bounce. Even if you do lose the centre bounce, if you are able to force them back or wide, then that clearance probably doesn’t land at the top of the goal square. It is a lot easier to defend.

    “Max Gawn probably grabbed it out of the ruck a fair few times which pretty much neutralises any of the midfielders and gets it going their way. As much as we can stop that, it will be good.” - Lachie Hunter, September 22.

    Yikes.

    Hunter is a grub. Happy he played a poor game. When he dropped the ball on the wing in the last quarter I literally lol’ed.

    Got a lump in my throat that our Team could actually do that.

    In that last 50 seconds of the 3rd quarter, we saw 2 of the best handballs ever by Demons that led to goals.

    Viney falling over, handballs under enormous pressure to Tracc and the other, Jacko on the run, puts it in front of Clarry, running at full pace, who doesn’t need to break stride, for a brilliant goal on the run.

    I will never forget those 2 handballs which in a big way helped win us a flag.

    Until proven otherwise, I say yes, 3 goals in less than a minute in a grand final is the quickest 3 goals ever.

    Check with Bruce's stats guru.

    Agree Red, Jackson’s handball past Caleb Daniel to Oliver was just poetry.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
